Hallowe'en, by Jean Kenward

Hallowe'en

Bring a candle!
Bring a light -
it must be Hallowe'en
tonight!

I saw a pixie
small and fine
dancing
on the washing line...

I saw a witch
go riding high
on her broomstick
through the sky...

I saw a giant
ten feet wide
with half a dozen
ships inside...

I saw a fairy
like a dream
top the milk
and sip the cream...

I saw a goblin
plump and brown
turn the church clock
upside down!

Come as quickly
as you can -
I saw the back
of a bogy man!
